Today
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream
of happiness
And tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
Kalidasa
(Indian Poet)
We all know today is all we have, yet we get ourselves stuck in the past and anxious over tomorrow. Here is something I offer to you to read and to remember. William found it in Dale Carnegie’s book, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, a dusty old book we found on Amazon and has become a reference book of sorts for him. I hope this little poem helps you to live in the moment.
Spider lilies mean autumn is near. What a beautiful palette Mother Nature is about to display.
till next time,
